    Help identify this whistling noise

    I am glad you got it figured out before the driveshaft dropped! I had that happen in my truck years ago. The top u joint let go and the driveshaft bounced off the ground while I was pulling out into traffic. I immediately pulled over and unbolted the driveshaft. I went home in 4wd that night. I...

    What ratio do I need?

    You will like the 3.73s. The 3.42s are a factory gear for a standard transmission. I also do not agree with the chart as well. BTW- I have a 350 with a 465, 3.73s and a 6 inch lift. I might change out to 4.10s but that will be in a while. I have no problem with this combo.

    Racerbacks for square bodies? Sun visor?

    Yeah they were made for these trucks. I remember seeing one on a local truck. I think it was made by Lund as well.

    Engine block Paint ????

    I had to laugh at this question because I just repainted the engine. It was still in the truck. I built the engine in 1991. The truck has sat out every day of its life with the hood closed. Now having said that- the oil pan, balancer, timing chain cover were still orange but the block was rust...

    Engine block Paint ????

    It was ok but not porcelain smooth. I never put a coat of clear on it either. I just spray bombed it. The timing chain cover was smooth along with oil pan. I put several coats on the block as well as the water pump and balancer.

    clutch rod question

    Steve I just went out and measured mine for you. Mine is a 79 also. My rod goes through the floor 13 inches over from the kick panel. I ran a tape down from the rod to the front of the floorpan right below the seat. The measurement is 32 inches. This should get you close. I hope you have the...

    Time for a new carb

    I also suggest the q-jet. Buy it new or rebuilt and you will have to spend some money. The upside is that it will be reliable. The downside is the cost. I never could get a brand new Holley to work correctly out of the box. I always had to tinker with them. This usually involved buying some more...
